Head Cheese and sausage

Head Cheese and sausage


There are excellent videos on the Internet about the lengthy process of making head cheese.

Optionally: soak the meat overnight in saltpeter mix.

Don't forget to add a lot of salt to your final mixture!


VARIATION:

To produce homemade sausage instead of head cheese, add some finely ground up or pureed lean pork (or a pork/beef mixture) to the hot liquid broth (from cooking the head). Add your favourite spices (garlic, pepper, mayoram,...), pour into a dish (will be like pate), or fill into casings.

Don't be afraid to experiment a bit!
